Acacia glaucoptera is naturally found in south-west Western Australia growing in shrubland, mallee or woodlands in very well drained moderately fertile sandy to clay soils. It prefers an open sunny position and is light frost and drought tolerant.

Clay Wattle is grown for its unusual greyish foliage and its flowers. It is planted in parks and gardens as a low border or in rockeries for spring colour. It establishes in 2 to 3 years and is suitable for coastal regions and can be used as a low hedge or as a specimen. ID 2579
